A review by kshng
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

1.0

The only reason I read this book is because it won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2014. And I did not like this book at all. The plot was slow and boring, and there wasn't a single moment in the book where I felt any curiosity or concern about the fate of any character. Perhaps there are some deep symbols in the prose, but I failed to see any and couldn't appreciate the beauty in this book that seems to have so easily presented itself to the numerous critics, readers and the committee that awards the Pulitzer Prize.
